you told me i had flabby skin
so i stopped eating
you told me i'm too loud
so i lowered my voice
you told me i'm too confident
so i humbled myself
you told me you hate the way i dressed
i changed my style
made it more revealing
so girls would appreciate me
you told me i'm annoying
i stopped speaking about myself
and that changed me
i cant explain how
but it did
the comments all stuck with me
and occasionally they pop up again and again
but i have realised no matter how much i have changed myself
i will never be enough
but honestly
that pretty much sums me up as a person
i change for the ones that in one second they could drop me for the next vulnerable person to come by
but i always get punished
